@Foxhack: The tracker doesn't distribute any material. It only manages some of the communication between peers. In fact, nowadays a tracker isn't needed since peer discovery can be done via PeX and DHT.
EDIT: This also illustrates the problem with these links. Like with any other "volatile" link (like e.g. on a file-hosting site), there is no way of knowing how long the torrent swarm might last.
